Inerprofessional Collaboration Analysis
Inerprofessional collaboration (IPC) is defined as “the coordination of patient care that is provided by a diverse group of healthcare practitioners working collaboratively to provide timely, safe, high quality, patient-centered care that relies on the unique knowledge and skills of the each member of the healthcare team”(Woten, 2017). The IPC consists of but it is not limited to nurses, physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, respiratory therapists, dietitians, physical therapists, health educators, social workers, clergy, health educators, and pharmacists (Woten, 2017).

However, it is still an imperative to communicate and work together. Once the patient’s condition is more stabilized, it would be very beneficial to move the plan of care toward the interdisciplinary approach.
Nurses at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center are involved in multidisciplinary rounds every day. The involvement of all members is expected as the goal is to provide the best outcome to the patient and his/hers family as well as the safest care possible. It is not acceptable to leave any discipline “out of the loop” in order to prevent any negative consequences to the patient. If a person is in the critical condition due to the motor vehicle accident, and the social workers or clergy are not involved, it is not possible to address end of life care and religious preferences of the patient and the family
